Radicchio Salad with Roasted Fennel and Pears
A salad of fresh pears, fennel and walnuts was the starting point for this autumnal mix of sweet, salty and bitter notes. We roast fresh fennel and Bosc pears under the broiler to soften them and concentrate their flavors before combining them with ribbons of radicchio, toasted walnuts and cheese. Shaved Parmesan or crumbled Gorgonzola both work beautifully in the salad, so use whichever you prefer.

Tip
Don’t use pears that are ripened to the point of custardy softness. They still should have some crunch or roasting may make them mushy. Don’t peel the pears. Their skins add a burnished russet hue to the salad and also help keep the pieces intact. Finally, don’t forget to drizzle the flavorful juices accumulated on the baking sheet over the just-assembled salad.

01Heat the oven to broil with a rack about 6 inches from the element. Mist a broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
